Love the show? Text us your feedback! If two million people have been helped by using Adult Stem cells, why are we still talking about embryonic cells? How do adult stems cells work and why do embryonic stem cells not succeed? We answer these questions and more as we sit down with Dr. David Prentice, a longtime stem cell researcher and policy adviser, to separate stem cell hype from stem cell results, and to name the ethical stakes that often get blurred on purpose. We also get practical for anyone considering stem cell therapy now. We share what to ask your doctor about sourcing, why many procedures use your own cells, and how donor matching works. Then we look forward to where ethical stem cell treatments are heading, including research and clinical progress in multiple sclerosis, stroke recovery, heart damage, graft versus host disease, sickle cell disease, frailty, and even rare HIV remission cases.
